HISTORY OF SCULPTURE.
Some Points Not Contained in the Ordi
nary Reference Books.

Some Points Not Contained In the Ordi.
nary Reference Books.
When we gaze upon beautiful
piece of statuary, it is interesting to
recall the fact that it was through
gradual and successive steps that per
lection in sculpture was attained.
The earliest statuary was of the
rudest form, being little more than
quadrangular blocks of stone to repre-
sent heather deities, and seeing one
set up by the roadside one must have
been puzzled to decide whether it was
Mercury or a milestone. One day it
occurred to some stone-cutter who was
engaged in cutting out god. to put a
head on him, and that was the begin
ming of busts. Busts in return have
put head on many man who in
dulged in them.
In the decoration of heather temples
hands were added to the statue, and
that sculptor was the most successful
in the game who could deal the best
hand. Feet followed, as a matter of
course, for statuary, like poetry,
enjoy very long run without feet
It was Phidius, of Athens, who in
augurated the true ideal style of Greek
art. He wrought the statue of Minerva
for the Parthenon in ivory and gold.
This occurred during the reign of
Pericles, who, being born tired, was
called Prince of Tyre.
The perfection of Greek art is attri-
buted to the fact that her sculptors
made nature, in her best and happiest
moods, their model. They never miss
ed circus, where they found well-knit
joints among the leapers and riders,
and massive shoulders and thick mus
cles on the cannon ball man; and John
L. Sullivan never gave an exhibition
there that they were not to be found
close to the ropes.
Greek sculptors formed the head.
hands and feet of different stones, fire.
quently, while wood and metal were
employed for the draperies and acces.
sories. They also painted their statues,
which was a humane thing to do, as
they were frequently left outdoors dur
ing an inclement winter, and in the
absence of other garments coat oi
paint was some protection.
Among the most noted works in an.
cient statuary was the Colossus oi
Rhodes, one of the seven wonders oi
the world. It stood $50 feet high, and
held lamp in its hand. which was
lighted at night. By its illumination 8
sailor on an incoming vessel could
"tell Aunt Rhody" as far as he could
see it-Teras Sittings.

The Tribes Represented In Eufaula Adopt
Memorial Opposing the Policy.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-A special from
Eufaula, L T., says: The Indian council
resumed its sessions Wednesday morning,
and is still at work, with delegates
from eighteen tribes present, who
expressed their satisfaction at the re-
port Of the committee appointed Monday
to draft memorial to the President on
the land question. The preamble enumer-
ates the tribes that are to sign the me-
mortal, to wit: Cherokee, Creek, Choc-
taw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Sac and Fox,
Usage and others. The memorial was
unanimously adopted, after being inter-
preted A synopsis is as follows:
With many misgivlngs they assume that the
United States Government intends to give the
priving them Of rights. Having lived under the
policy, they claim to be fair judges Of its
utility. They do not wish to antagonize
any policy of the. Government but to
contribute to its effects. But they
make an earnest appeal in behalf
ritory against the act providing for the allot-
ment Of lands in severalty to Indians. It will
be o detriment to their interests as 1t win
in the near future ingulf all Of the In
dians and tribes of the Territory in one
catastrophe, to the enrichment Of the land
civilized machinery of justice seem powerless
to secure their rights. They deprecate any
measure which will place the Indians in so
unequal contest. The Indian needs q
political identity, ON allegiance, called
elsewhere patriotism, in order to make
true progress in the affairs Of life. The
law to which objection is urged enables
the Indian to become member of some
other body politic by electing and taking to
himself o quantity of land which is at present
the common property Of all. The Land-in-Sev-
crafty law apportions to each individual only a
part of that which is already his property, and
leaves the balance for sale to others, who will
be composed Of q class having no sympathy
for the Indians, who will rush into the
new country in their mad race for gain and
crowd out every hope and chance Of Indian civ.
ilization. The tribes ask that the President
stay the operations of the law until they shall
be in condition to be benefited by it. They fur,
ther request that the act be not enforced until
they have the opportunity Of testing the valid
ity of their rights before the judiciary of the
CJnitod States.

SOLID PROSPERITY.

The Satisfactory Condition OF the Country
Under Democratic Administration.
One of the prominent devices used
by the Republicans in the last National
campaign whereby to terrify the peo-
pie was an Industrious circulation of
the warning that if the Democrats
should succeed to power the wheels of
industry would refuse to move in their
sockets and things in general assume
the air of graveyard. A cheap jew
elry firm in Attleboro publicly tele-
graphed to New York on the night be-
fore election: sIf Blaine is elected fill
our order; otherwise consider it can
celed." Similar cheap tricks had been
in operation every day.
But human nature did not radically
change after election. Men continued
to eat, to wear clothes, to live in
houses and even to wear cheap jewelry.
The wheels of industry. in fact. moved
more nimbly in their sockets than
before. It is even doubtful whether
the soft-solder man Cancelled his order.
On the whole the condition of busi-
ness has remained satisfactory, and is
so to-day. That there are strikes and
numerous disputes between labor and
capital is rather an evidence that
times are good than the contary, for it
is an old maxim to make hay while the
sun shines and to strike while the iron
is hot.

this operates to fulfill the great eco
nomic law promulgated by Josiah War
rem, that the inevitable tendency oi
competition is to make cost the limit
of price. At this point labor is sure to
get its own, and Mr.. Atkinson would
have us believe that we have already
nearly reached it

SUDDENLY FLOODED.

Tho Town of Nanticoke, Pa, Deluged by
Cioud-B Residents Forced to Take
Refuge ON the House-Tops-Damage to
the Extent of 800. 900 Results.
WLKEsBARRE, Pa, June 10.-A water
cloud burst upon the town of Nanticoke yes
terday afternoon. The water came down
from the heavens like q .deluge. In about
forty minutes the whole town was sub
merged with water from one to three feet
deep. The sewer on the main
street was entirely inadequate to
carry off the water, and it burst
The river of water then made its way
through the cellars of Lthe business houses
along the street, soon oyerhowing them
and compelling the people on the top floors
to fee for their lives. The women and
children were in the arms Of men, and in
the drenching rain, which. had not yet
ceased to fall, they were carried across
the street and up the hill on Prospect
street to higher grounds. The mad
dened waters soon made channels
for itself and rushing through Arch street
it partly emptied itself in No. slope Of
the Susquehanna Coal Company The
miners who were at work were terror
stricken. They thought the bottom Of the
Susquehanna river had fallen in, and that
it would only be question of time when
they would be caught in the rush and
drowned. The signal was given for the
men to run for life, and throwing down
their tools rush was made for the open
ing. All escaped.
The water filled into the boiler-houses
of the Susquehanna Coal Company,
quenching the fires and suspending all
work in the mine. Thirty tenement houses
near by were entirely surrounded by
water before the occupants were aware OF
it. When they realized their condition
- r.
rescued later by q number Of men in boats.
The water did not cease to do damage un-
til it reached the Susquehanna river, half
mile distant and when it began to pour
into the big stream the pressure in the
streets was somewhat relieved.
The loss to property will be over $780,
600. The people say that the water came
down not in drops, but in heavy mass II
lasted for one hour and forty-five minutes.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
CHARLESTON, w. Va. February H.
When the joint assembly convened this
morning Senator McCreery renominated
Mr.. Camden in speech Of some length,
in which lie dealt some telling blows at
the twelve Democrats who are response
bic for the continued deadlock. The
Senator then appealed To the twelve to
come to the support of the nominee of
their party, and assured them that if
they could point to one action of the
candidate which rendered him unfit to
represent the State he would pledge
himself never to vote for Mr.. Camden
again. The result Of the ballot was:
Camden, 81; Mason Republican), 80;
Preston Independent Democracy, IL;
Newman and johnson, each.
The amendment TO the Constitution
prohibiting the sale and manufacturing
of intoxicating liquors i'll the State,
which passed the House but was lost in
the Senate some time ago, was taken up
to-day on asfnOtiOn TO reconsider, and
was passed. The ruse by which the
friends of prohibition secured this re-
suit was this After the defeat of the
bill to submit the constitutionalameDd-
ment to the people bill embodying the
same thing and to 90 into effect No
vcmber |. 1887, was introduced In
tho House and carried in the Sen
ate, but in order TO prevent this
those who had opposed the constitu-
tional amendment voted to reconsider
and then voted for it. The advantage
gained by the liquor-men is this The
bill would have taken effect in Novem-
her, but the constitutional amendment
cannot he voted upon till 1888, and then
there will be a chance to defeat it.
Senator Camden returned from Wash
ington this morning, but was not in
when your correspondent called but |
was assured most emphatically by two
of his most trusted friends that there
was no foundation to the rumOr that
Mr.. Camden would withdraw.
